René Cassin, la passion de la France et des Droits de l’Homme. Parcours franco-israélite

Muriel Pichon

Résumé de l'article

René Cassin (1887-1967), the famous jurist who took part in the elaboration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, spent his childhood in Nice and belonged to a family of the French Jewish Bourgeoisie that was strongly attached to republican values. As a child, he was told tales about the history of France, including the loss of the province of Alsace and the Dreyfus Affair, which represented a first encounter with injustice, and emphasized the elation of fighting for justice. The First World War strengthened his love for his country and his conviction of the necessity to protect individuals from the State. He devoted his life to human rights. His ideals of equality, justice and democracy is in keeping with what France represented for him as the birthplace of Human Rights, as well as with his Jewish origins. He thus stands out as a distinguished and fascinating figure of French Judaism and its evolution throughout the xx^th century.
